# schoolcompare publishes England only. GIAS ships the whole UK plus overseas
# and offshore establishments, none of which have comparable DfE performance
# data — Wales does not publish on the English measures at all. Excluding them
# at the mart boundary keeps them out of the site, the filter lists and the
# sitemap together. Codes are TypeOfEstablishment, see seeds/gias_code_names.csv.
#   25 = Offshore schools            (Jersey, Guernsey, Isle of Man, Gibraltar)
#   26 = Service children's education (BFPO, Fieldwork Overseas)
#   30 = Welsh establishment
#   37 = British schools overseas
# dim_school, dim_location and assert_england_only_schools all read this list.

  # Type alone is not enough. Beechwood College (URN 142458, Sully, CF64 5SE)
  # is a Welsh school that GIAS types as a Special post 16 institution (32)
  # rather than a Welsh establishment (30), so the type filter let it through.
  # LA code is the reliable discriminator: GIAS gives the 22 Welsh unitary
  # authorities the contiguous block 660-681, which English authorities never
  # use (they occupy 201-384 and 800-938).
  #
  # Filtering on postcode would be wrong: Redbrook, Tutshill, Wyedean and two
  # other Gloucestershire schools carry NP16/NP25 postcodes because Royal Mail
  # areas straddle the border, and they are English schools with English data.
